I hate to say it, but I actually don’t really. I think I need to get some of those resuscitation paddles and yell, “Clear”! I don’t know if I need to pump you full of some adrenaline, or lace your caffeine with more caffeine, or shine a bright light in your face, or get a really loud alarm, because you guys have been lethargic lately. There has been no energy on WordPress lately and you guys need to snap out of it. I know it isn’t only me. I’ve done some research and found that one other person thought the same thing, so it must be true.
It’s pretty pathetic that the most lethargic, lazy, bitter, monotone voiced, non motivation speaker has to be the one to tell you this, but you guys have been lethargic, lazy, bitter, monotone voiced, and non motivational people lately. That is my role, and you guys are the ones that are supposed to be the ones with energy. This role reversal is uncomfortable for all of us, so we need to reverse this curse immediately, or Mercury might start spinning on its retrograde incorrectly and come to earth to destroy this nap I’m about to go take as soon as I finish this life draining motivational speech.
It’s bad you guys. So bad, that I almost willingly did work at work yesterday, because I was getting tired from all the energy you weren’t putting out yesterday. I almost felt like helping people out, and skipping lunch. I was so tired from the lack of energy, that I was too tired to take a nap.
This is the humor section of WordPress people! I know none of you are stand up comedians, or sitcom stars or even your graduating classes, “Most Likely to Be a Class Clown”, but could you at least try to sprinkle a pun or two into your posts? Or make fun of someone at your work, or tell a bitter story about your kid that made you so bitter that the rest of the world could laugh at you? Geez Louise people.
Time to quit thinking that just because it is May, you can “go outdoors” and “have activities with your family” and get busy “going on vacation”.
Drafts are begging to be written, with Sarah McLachlan music playing in the background asking you to pledge just $40 a day, to help these poor neglected posts. Like buttons being so overworked on Facebook and Instagram and Twitter, that they have no more energy to be used on WordPress. Comment sections are full of tumbleweed rolling across them, with only occasional buzzards dropping by to offer “Buy Followers for only $50.”
Time for you “humorous” people to get back to doing what you are supposed to be doing. Time for you start avoiding work, and fun, and family and obligations again, so we can get back to annoying each other. Time for us stop being so productive and get bitter so we can turn to WordPress to get us through our pathetic lives. Get the word out to all you friends. I don’t care if you have to Tweet it, Instagram it, Pin it, Facebook it, Vine it, or whatever, but I need to go back to my normal bitter routine. You need to do this for me, so I can go back to being the lazy, lethargic, pathetic, bitter one.

It’s true. I’ve been so “lethargic, lazy, bitter, monotone voiced, and non motivational” that I only wrote 30 poems last month and hardly commented on anyone’s blog posts or said a single encouraging thing. This is what I like about you, Ben, you’re laser focused on life and solutions to other people’s problems. And what I need is exactly what you’ve suggested here: I need some more caffeine with my caffeine. I also need $287 M, a bass boat and a truck, and a secluded mountain-foot chalet overlooking a lake stocked with large catfish and surrounded by beef cattle and the odd goats and chickens, who are all well domesticated and know to stay the hell out of my garden and just grow big and fat and wait for the opportunity to be my guests for dinner (f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f!!). As for sprinkling in your puns, if your pun-cup doesn’t already “runneth over,” I’ll sprinkle something in it if you let me hold it for a few moments in private. I DID see a tumbleweed trail through my comments for many of these poems I’ve written, and I have to say I’m tired of those damned weeds drifting along, and it would be nice if someone did something about it.
Despite the sarcastic-sounding tones, I’m NOT being sarcastic. Everything I have said here, my whole note ( o ) is pitch-perfect and true, including the fact that I need the caffeine and the cash. And the fact that I like you and your work. Keep it up.~Deon

What are you talking about? I speak Latin all the time and now you tell me it is a dead language? That makes me bitter – good job at making bitter better! Carpe Diem! (see)

Who do you speak latin to? Your latin class? I have declared my languages dead. Basically any language I don’t speak, which is all of them except for English, so don’t feel bad.

Life is a bitter pill. Swallow it and poop it out at a latter time.

Life is a bitter pill. Probably one that it too big and I would need some water to swallow it, but it would still be too big and I would choke on it and decide to not take it after all.

I awoke to an illusion. The illusion that everything is just flipp’n hunky-dory. Someone please pinch me, slap me, or knock me upside the head with a baseball bat. Thank you in advance for your assistance. Check is in the mail Ben.

I would come there and knock you upside the head with a baseball bat, but I’m pretty tired right now. Need a nap. And I was never really that good at baseball, so I would probably miss unless it was on a tee(Tball style).

LMAO – Thanks Ben. Get you nap and we’ll worry about locating a t-ball stand later. As far as the bat is concerned we might consider aluminum over wood as a wooden one would most likely break striking this hard head 😉

I’m thinking you would want the wooden one as it is a more traditional way to get your head knocked over than the aluminium that is the more dangerous one?

It’s fun to laugh at me trying to, but I need to lay on the couch after that speech.

Right, and you also needed to lay on the couch before that speech…

Exactly. The problem is people seem to think I need to earn my money at work instead of napping all day. They really need to stop being a barrier to my naps.
LikeLike
I know! It’s like they’re always talking and stuff while you’re trying to nap. They say things like “Do your work!” Can’t they see you’re trying to sleep? Just rude I tell you!

Co-workers and bosses just don’t understand. Perhaps they need a training program about how to deal with a bittertrovert.

I was that one other person, was I not? I mean, I even got myself vitamin B poisoning in an attempt to get rid of my lethargy, so you can’t say I wasn’t motivated.

You were definitely doing your best to get rid of your lethargy. I am too lazy to try anything to get rid of my lethargy.

No, but you sure are trying to break other’s laziness, which is quite the effort if you ask me.

Yeah, it is. But in the long run it is better for my laziness. Hopefully it will start paying off soon.
